Multi-platform Installer for Ada

Multi-platform Installer for Ada

[NiGHTS]

I have a closed-source GNAT Ada software that I wish to create setup programs in multiple platforms. Currently my intended targets are Windows / Linux / OS X desktop systems. Does anyone have any recommendations on installation builders that can work well with an Ada-based software?

Thanks for your help.

	If all that is being distributed is the .exe (or equivalent for other
platforms) "installation builders" shouldn't care what the software was
built from...

	OTOH: unless you are using $$$$ GNAT-Pro, the license on GNAT doesn't
permit closed-source distribution of applications. This may not be a
problem if you mean you are using a non-AdaCore GCC with Ada.

This is simply untrue. With the exception of the GNAT GPL releases, all versions
of GNAT allow closed-source development.
